Security for everyone - how?

We have a problem here - serious one. Which is security of women. It was not so serious, but few painted and dented sundar women are unnecessarily creating lot of noise.

Our authentic khap people suggested that girls must be married early. Some politicians even seconded that. But that does not seem to work as rapist does not discriminate between married women and unmarried girls. In fact they do not discriminate at all. Some leaders put their thinking caps on and got a brilliant idea. They suggested that girls and women should be inside their homes before it gets dark. But they must have removed the caps early. Because they did not realize that in today's times it is impossible for any working woman to reach home before dark.

But the police force is limited. And the population is very very large. And some police should be reserved for VVIP security.

So let us think of some reverse psychology. Just like women should be inside the house, to be safe, politicians can too be inside the house to be safe. That is outrageous you say. How are they going to serve the country if they are inside the house. How will they attend different rallies? How will give election speeches? How will they inaugurate a hospital belonging to them. ? How will they attend legislative assemblies or councils once in a blue moon.





Here is where technology comes into picture. Our leaders have shown their eagerness to use new technology by asking new ipads etc. They can use the same technology for their benefit. A leader who is supposed to be addressing the rally can give a live telecast of his speech, sitting in the comfort of his air conditioned home. He can even read the prepared election speech and it can be shown on big screen. He does not have to prepare it for different constituencies. His tech support can edit the content, depending on whether it is Bidar or Belgaum.

And if he wants to go to Vidhana soudha, he can send a stooge, who can sleep sit through the session, and record the proceedings and show it to the leader. If in a rare case of leader having a question to ask, again a teleconferecing method can be used.

But we were talking about security of women. What has that got to do with making leaders sit at home? Don't you see the connection? Leaders do not step out of the house. They do not need black commandos or white security guards and police cars following them and leading them. So there are some police extra. Who can be on vigilance helping out women in distress.

This method will also be beneficial to the above mentioned leaders. People may even bless them for saving the tax payers' money in air fares, taxi fares, and also for avoiding traffic jams and flight delays. Happy people may tend to vote for them.

Hair care and me ??

I delayed writing this post for I was not sure whether I am entitled to write this post. If I put my photo along, I should also add that I do not use Dove shampoo, so that it will serve as a warning to people , if they don't use a proper shampoo, their hair might also look like mine :-( :-( :-( Things (on my head) were not this bad always. I had long black and reasonably thick hair, nicely plaited, when I was a child. In fact I would be sitting on my plaits - they were so long. And to top it all, one of relatives used to say " you say you will be taller and your hair will say it will be longer" or something like that. (Now I have ended up 5.2 ft  and my hair also short sob....) Back then, how did I nourish my hair?I did not do much in fact. But mere paas maa thi. She would religiously oil my hair - everyday. But not soak my head in oil. She would just put half a teaspoon of oil to my head. Then brush my hair nicely and put 2 tight plaits before sending me to school. T...

Danuvettiddu

We Hegdes from Uttara Kannada, Dakshina Kannada, Shimoga districts of Karnataka belong to a brahmin sub sect called Havyaka Brahmins. We have some traditions of our own, a language of our own - which is slightly different from kannada. But I am not an authority on the subject, nor have I read any book on comparative analysis of Karnataka brahmin traditions. And as most modern secular Hindus I find it more amusing to make fun of our traditions rather than celebrating them - may be because I do not understand it completely. I attended a marriage yesterday. So let us talk about few of rituals in this marriage ceremony. On the previous day of the marriage called Naandi - which means beginning of any good thing. The groom will wear a simple dress, and a wooden footwear (since we can't conjure up wooden paduka so easily, he will wear foot-wear made from dried skin of areca flower) and with a sack on his shoulder, will declare that  he will go to Kashi. Here he is saying, he wants to...
